Stealing the Yuri Protagonist Harem

Chapter 156: Why?

This group of Martial Alliance disciples came to the royal city to participate in the ranking competition of the Human Immortal List. They set out from Green Province over ten days ago and explored a secret realm on the way. Due to various incidents during the journey, they only arrived in the royal city today.

The one leading them this time was the Xiao Zu they had mentioned several times just now. However, Xiao Zu was not with them at the moment. Instead, they had dispersed on the way, agreeing to meet again at this current inn, the Wandering Immortal Inn, which was well-known to the Martial Alliance.

Although he was referred to as Xiao Zu, he was not someone from their sect or an elder. Moreover, his true identity was neither human nor demon but an immortal spirit.

Born from the essence of heaven and earth, these beings were extremely rare and special. They were nurtured by the celestial source, genderless, and each had a unique appearance.

The Xiao Zu of the Martial Alliance was such an immortal spirit, discovered and carefully nurtured by the Alliance Master in his early years. This gave him a special status in the Martial Alliance because this immortal spirit possessed a unique ability that the Alliance Master valued immensely the ability to push the development of events in unpredictable directions, increasing the probability of unlikely events occurring.

However, those who had interacted with Xiao Zu in the Martial Alliance dared not underestimate this possibility. The middle-aged senior brother of the Martial Alliance, with a weathered face, seemed to think of something, and his sturdy body trembled slightly.

He cast a solemn gaze over the junior brothers who had advised him to leave earlier.

Have you considered if we leave now, and Xiao Zu arrives later but cant find us, what might happen?

His voice was low, as if he had experienced the ups and downs of life, seeing through the worlds vicissitudes.

The few Martial Alliance disciples who had looked bitter just now all shivered at the same time.

Thus, the first floor of the inn fell into silence once again.

In the room of the little fox demon empress:

Ascension?

Luo Wusheng was slightly stunned.

Yes, with some secret techniques I master, there is a bit of certainty that I can help the young masters artifact ascend from middle-grade to top-grade.

The demon empress nodded lightly, At that time, it will trigger a tribulation surpassing the Nascent Soul realm but young master doesnt need to worry; I have the means to swallow the tribulation thunder.

Upon hearing this, Luo Wusheng already understood. The little fox needed a tribulation to restore her cultivation and solidify her third tail, as he had learned from eavesdropping earlier.

Now, it seemed that her mentioned method was to use his artifact to trigger the ascension tribulation. The mention of swallowing the tribulation thunder probably meant that she could restore her cultivation by consuming the celestial energy.

Swallowing heavenly thunder sounded quite cool.

He wondered what heavenly tribulation tasted like.

Unfortunately, he didnt possess such a magical talent.

After understanding these details, Luo Wusheng made a speculative expression and asked, Can swallowing the thunder tribulation restore your cultivation?

Young master guessed right.

With a glint in her eyes, the demon empress admitted softly.

Since I can help the young lady and gain such significant benefits for myself, it seems I have no reason to refuse

Luo Wusheng smiled and said, Lets do as the young lady suggests.

The demon empress, wearing the appearance of Yao Ji, raised the corners of her mouth and looked at the young man in front of her. There was a slight but evident smile in her eyes.

Well, I can completely make another similar artifact with the materials I have on hand. As for the side effects I can just go to Little Yuli for a few blessings.

The demon empress didnt know what the young man was thinking. But after hearing Luo Wushengs answer, her smile became more apparent.

Her words were not false; ascension carried risks. Regular artifacts had fixed grades from the moment of their creation and rarely had the opportunity for ascension.

However, Luo Wushengs Phantomless was different. The materials used in crafting it exceeded those of normal top-grade artifacts, and its potential had not been fully tapped. This created the possibility of ascension.

Nevertheless, the risk of failure still existed.

If it really fails, I can add something else as a gift for him, maybe a High-Grade Artifact?

Should this be enough to pay him for lifting my seal?

The demon empress pondered in her heart, but jokingly said, Then I can only do my best not to disappoint the young master~

On the side, the ape demon and Xiao Guai, who witnessed the two reaching a deal, had complex expressions on their faces, seeming to have something to say but couldnt express it.

Finally, they felt that something was not right.

Why did the demon empress and the Holy Saint of the Demon Sect seem to have no barriers in their communication? Even their attitudes Are they following the attitude the demon empress had when she disguised herself in the royal city?

The elder ape almost thought that the fox in front of him was an impostor who had the ability to disguise itself as his empress.

And Xiao Guai remembered the speculation of the several other old demons regarding the Holy Saints possible desire for her sisters body

Just as Xiao Guai began to remember the past, the Holy Saint of the Demon Sect suddenly took a deep breath.

As he exhaled, his expression became serious and earnest.

Speaking of which, I just remembered something and hope to get an answer from the young lady.

Seeing his serious expression, knowing that the other party indeed had something important to ask, the demon empress also put away her smile.

You can speak, young master.

Luo Wusheng took another breath.

Although these questions may be a bit inappropriate but I still want to know, why would the former emperor of the Immortal Nation, is able to goes all alone into the Demonic Land, defeat all of the old monster that reside in there, including you, and sealed you in the Ascending Immortality Lake, which, are in the Immortal Nation.

I would be frank, I doesnt know how much old monster left reside in the Demonic Land, but Im sure those demon who are at the peak of Tribulation Crossing Realm can be counted in more than one hand, although Im aware that these monster are rarely ever made a move due to hiding away from the Tribulation, they should still be able to stop the Emperor, and yet, they failed.

Does this mean that the former Emperor of the Immortal Nation has reached a level so high that no one left is able to match him?

If this conjecture is true, how did the young lady be able to create a mortal incarnation despite being sealed under the lake and hiding her in the capital of the empire?

As he finished speaking, he locked eyes with the demon empress.

But the demon empress closed her eyes, as if struggling with something.

The expressions on Xiao Guai and the elder apes faces also became complicated and desolate.

After a long time, the demon empress sighed.

The former emperor of the Immortal Nation his strength is indeed almost unmatched among those at the Tribulation Crossing stage, but it is not as high as the young master said.

As for why he could do these things and how I could leave an incarnation despite being sealed.. I can only tell the young master one thing. I believe that with the young masters wisdom, it is enough to deduce the answer.

She said, taking a breath, and then a mocking smile appeared on her face.

Since ancient times, the heavens and the earth have set limits. Only when someone in this world reaches the level of immortality can they break through all the barriers between immortals and mortals.

Otherwise, in this world, transcending the celestial tribulation and becoming an immortal is impossible.
